counter-charged. they raved and they
ranted; they waved on high the ensan-

into a frenzy over the terrible state Of

great things politically are to be accom-
plished, but so far nobody has been

ALTHOUGH affairs in Europe are COM
paratively quiet just at present, there
are indications that all parties are look
ing for terrible war before long. The
talk is in peaceful strain. but ut the
same time the great nations are rapidly
increasing their preparations for tre-
mendous struggle. Russia, Germany,
Austria, France aud several other pow
ers are building military railroads,
erecting strong Notifications, manufsc-
turing all sorts Of war implements. and
have immense standing armies. The
question naturally arises, What are all
these preparations for? They surely
are not the weapons Of peace.

judges are being elected nowadays who
are not qualified for the high places
they occupy. They override laws, and
declare them unconstitutional, and
seem to know great deal more than the
men who make the laws. Too many
judges are trusted with discretionary
powers who are utterly without discre-

absinthe is more common to day IN this

evil effects, one writer says: "The poor

suffer from a peculiar train OF nervous

is epilepsy Of a remarkably severe char

National conventions for the nomina-

Vice-President are of comparatively
recent origin. In the earlier political
history Of the country candidates were
chosen by congressional and legislative
The reign of "King Caucus

The EXnrnssiYA Eye.

1.-THE eye," says Button, "is the great
exponent of character" Button is
correct. When a blue eye is encircled
half way down the checks with O ring
of ebon hue. puffed up like q new-laid
muffin, it is an indication that the char
acter of the man who owns that eye,
and who would give $40 if he could see
with it, is no purer than the oye. And
when the eyes are red as to dropping
lids, and prolific in unconditional tears,
and have q general burnt-hole-insa~
blanket expression. it is a sign thai
they see through o glass lightly about
once every fifteen minutes, and that
they keep open as long as the mans
mouth does. To see both eyes shut
and the mouth wide open is a sign that
LIES short dream is snore. when 8
mans eyes try to look at each other

Hot water i'm Indigestion.

We do not believe that the value OF
hot water in indigestion is fully appre-
ciated. 1t does a great deal of good in
this affection. When taken shortly be-
fore meals the congestion of the stom-
ach is allaycd, the mucous is washed
out of it, fermentation is stopped and
irritability soothed. It assists digestion
of food and promotes assimilation. It's
use is to be as strongly commended as
that of ice water is to be condemned.
Both tea and coffee are Objectionable,
particularly the first which evidently re-
tards digestion. ALBANY Press.

A Medicinal Homer.

About three years g a distinguished
French naturalist. M. Guilmeth, who was
travelling in Tasmania, came suddenly
upon a grove OF gigantic eucalyptus
trees, from $50 to 800 feet high, and
with a trunk so large at the base that it
took forty of his Kauackas, joining
hands, to reach around one of them.
High in these lofty trees he discovered
what he at first took to be enormous
gals, but which he o ascertained to
be the dwelIing-places OF swarms of
small, black wild bees of a variety be-
fore unknown to him. Besides being
black and smaller than the ordinary
honeybee, this.mhd~ha.-1ssrs It's sarrs"
rarner more developed than that Of the
domestic bee. NJ. Gullmeth attempted
unsuccessfully to domesticate it in Tas-
mania. I!e caused some of these i'm
mense trees 10 he felled, and secured the
honey. The largest individual store of
honey weighed as much as II 900 pounds
avoirdupois.
The honey is described as a thick,
homogeneous, somewhat transparent
syrupy liquid of a deep orange color;
having an odor suggestive at once of its
containing eucalyptus principles. As
the result of experiments on himself and
one of his friends, DR.. Thomas Caraman
states that, on taking a tablespoonful of
the honey in a little tepid water or milk,
after a few moments one pcrceiyes o
] gentle, agreeable warmth take possession
of the whole person. At the end OF
half an hour, the elimination of the active
principles by the air passages having be-
g,ln. the voice becomes clearer and the
breath ~pertumed; the lungs feel more
elastic, more supple. Having continued
the use of the honey for n week, four
tabIespooafulls daily, the author, who
speaks of himself as respectively feshy,
found that he could go up two rairs Of
stairs, two STEPS at a time, without stop
ninr to take breath or feeling at al
blown.--INow York Medical Journal.
